jaykstah , in What headphones are you all using while gaming on Linux?

Sennheiser HD 599 Have had em for a couple years, they were my first proper open back headphones and I’ve fallen in love with them

I alternate between a PS4 controller and Switch Pro controller. Overall I think the PS4 controller is more comfortable and the touchpad on it is really convenient for using as a mouse.

I’ve been using 8bitdo SN 30 Pro+, it’s pretty good with standard games and also it’s gyro helps with Switch Emulation

@hschen@sopuli.xyz avatar

it should be just ~/.local/share/Steam and like 2 or 3 other .steam files left in your homefolder. if that doesnt work you might wanna delete the config files for ProtonQt which if is a flatpak would be in ~/.var/app

I use an 8bitdo Pro 2 in wired mode and it works great.

darcmage , in Current status of Intel Arc on Linux

I’d recommend checking out the phoronix Intel forum. We could really use more competition in this space.

r0mas OP ,

Looks like the drivers still need more development for the GPU be worth the money (at least for the a770) :(

ono , (edited )

This is good advice.

I haven’t been following progress on Xe/Arc linux drivers, but my impression from a few months ago was that they were still a bit rough for gaming. Maybe things are improving? Intel already has an open-source driver, so they seem well positioned to (eventually) compete in this space.

If build quality matters to you, OP, this Gamers Nexus teardown might be worth a watch:

I’m using beyerdynamic dt700prox and they’re pretty good (with glasses on too)

mhz , in Part 4 of the Wine work for Wayland is now merged

It would be cool if Valve released a native Steam wayland by the time this gets in proton.

Sony MDR-7506 wired into a Focusrite dac; the tried and true pair that radio stations across the world have used for years and years.

Gaming headphones are pretty bad, generally. I use Beyerdynamic DT-880s.

Thanks!

Loommix , in Redout 2 Review on Linux and the Steam Deck - Boiling Steam
@Loommix@lemmy.wtf avatar

I never played Redout 2 but I played 1 and loved it, until I got to frustrated because I suck, lol. If you like Wipeout, especially the classic games you should definitely try BallisticNG it has a strong Wipeout 3 vibe but it is also really fast in becoming frustratingly hard. And BallisticNG has a native Linux port.

aging_aquari_us , in What headphones are you all using while gaming on Linux?

I use Audio Technica ATH-m50x through a Topping DAC. Honestly really like the Koss Studio headphones as well and that’s what I’m looking to pick up. Obviously not better than DT880 or some Sennheiser, but I like to buy cheaper headphones.

Well, I don’t really like headphones, so mostly I’m using my living room stereo like it’s 1987 and I just got my first Amiga.

I do have a pair of beyerdynamic DT 990 Pros (3.5 mm TRS) because they’re supposed to sound “neutral” and their main purpose is to aid in audio …“work”… and voice chat. But they’re just fine for gaming, I guess, and have been trouble-free and fairly pleasant to wear (as big headphones go).

There's no Sennheiser DT 900 Pro. Do you mean beyerdynamic DT 900 Pro?

Fassmacher ,

I've never had issues with any logitech stuff over the years, so I seem to have accumulated a bunch of it
